We also offer students research opportunities which include writing working papers and doctorate study programmes. Full details of research degrees can be found on our Graduate School web pages.
We work with staff teams from different disciplines to provide our students with the best possible learning experience. Our courses prepare students to work effectively across different professions and specialisms in the broad field of sustainable communities.
We offer courses which are taught part-time, weekly, or by distance learning, and are highly relevant for organisations wishing to train their staff. We also provide events which promote Continuing Professional Development in the field of urban and regional studies.
